. Former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader Sarah Jones has reached a deal with prosecutors that will avoid her having to stand trial later this week on charges she had a sexual relationship with a student she taught at Dixie Heights High School.

Jones' attorney, Eric Deters, confirmed his client will accept a plea agreement Monday in Kenton Circuit Court. Deters wouldn't comment on the specifics of the agreement. Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Sara Farmer of Louisville, who is prosecuting the case, couldn't be reached Sunday for comment.
